i have a good teach , but how long i will take to be proffesional in playing piano and learn music composition,and music production?

On average it takes around 8 – 10 years to become a proficient musician – eventually reaching Grade 8/ Diploma standard..... for any age. Unless your teacher has already suggested this, I would recommend looking at the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music syllabus [ABRSM] exams for piano and theory, starting from Grade 1 (theory + piano), and working up to grade 8 then Diploma. The ABRSM are based in London, UK, and also cover Egypt.... see this link http://www.abrsm.org/en/regions/arab-states/egypt/
